I'm actually really grateful that my drinking got as bad as it did in the end, because if it didn't, I wouldn't be here...there's no creativity or positivity in that.
Imagine hiding bottles around your workplace just to get through the day. That was Lyndal Hunt's reality for over a decade. In this compelling episode of 'How I Quit Alcohol,' host Danni Carr sits down with her longtime friend Lyndal, who opens up about her silent battle with alcohol addiction. What started as teenage binge drinking spiraled into a daily necessity, leading to severe physical withdrawals and ultimately, hospitalization.
Lyndal shares the harrowing details of concealing her addiction from everyone around her, including colleagues, friends, and family. She describes the immense shame and isolation she felt, even as she tried to maintain a successful corporate career in New York. Her breaking point came when she could no longer hide her dependency and lost her job, forcing her to return to Australia and confront her addiction head-on.
Through candid conversation, Lyndal reveals how joining Alcoholics Anonymous and embracing the 12 steps became her lifeline. She talks about the transformative power of gratitude and spirituality in her recovery journey. Listeners will find inspiration in Lyndal's story of rebuilding her life from the ground up—finding love, starting a new job, and even launching her own business. This episode isn't just about the dark side of addiction; it's a testament to the strength of the human spirit.
Lyndal's journey underscores the importance of community support and the profound changes that can come from facing life's challenges without alcohol. Whether you're struggling with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, this episode offers hope, practical advice, and a reminder that recovery is possible.
